https://doi.org/10.24108/2658-3143-2022-5-2-4
Abstract
Currently, there are a number of automated services for selecting journals for the publication of scientific articles, which are an auxiliary tool for the author when choosing a scientific journal. The article provides an overview and comparative analysis of services for selecting a journal for publishing an article (Master Journal List Manuscript Matcher, JournalFinder, Journal Suggester, JournalGuide, Wiley Journal Finder, NeuroAssistant of Scientific Publishing), which are available free of charge and provide the ability to automatically select journals by analyzing fragment of the manuscript and additional parameters. As a result of the study, it was revealed that of the considered services, Master Journal List Manuscript Matcher (for foreign journals) and NeuroAssistant of Scientific Publishing (for Russian-language journals) are more preferable, because give the most relevant list of journals.
